Halliburton SandCastle PS-2500 (2011) – Specifications

Overview:

The Halliburton SandCastle PS-2500 is a portable vertical cement/proppant silo introduced around 2011 as part of Halliburton’s “Frac of the Future” equipment lineup. It is a trailer-mounted, self-erecting storage silo designed to hold approximately 2,500 cubic feet of dry bulk material (such as frac sand or cement) while minimizing the wellsite footprint. The unit transitions from a horizontal travel position into an upright silo using integrated hydraulic hoists powered by on-board solar panels, requiring no external power source. This innovation reduces diesel usage and emissions on site.

Capacity and Configuration

• Storage Volume: ~2,500 cubic feet of material (about 2,500 “sacks” or 250,000 lb of proppant).
• Compartments: Internally divided into two bins for operational flexibility. The standard configuration is a 2000 cu ft bin and a 500 cu ft bin, allowing different materials or gradations to be stored separately. Each bin has its own discharge outlet, enabling simultaneous or alternating unloading.
• Discharge Rate: Capable of unloading over 200 sacks per minute from each bin (>20,000 lb/min per bin). This rapid gravity-fed discharge supports the high proppant volumes required in modern multi-stage fracturing operations. An integrated gate system controls flow from each hopper.
• Weighing System: Equipped with an integral electronic weighing system that monitors the real-time volume of material in each bin. This allows precise inventory tracking on site and can transmit data to control centers for centralized monitoring and job data recording.

Dimensions

• Length: Approximately 48 feet long in transport configuration.
• Width: About 119 inches (9.9 feet) wide overall.
• Height: In road transport (horizontal) position, the height is comparable to a standard semi-trailer (around 13–14 feet). When erected on site, the unit stands roughly on end – on the order of 40–50 feet tall.
• Footprint: By going vertical, the PS-2500 occupies a much smaller pad area than multiple conventional horizontal sand silos.

Weight

• Empty Weight: Roughly ~30,000 lbs.
• GVWR: 61,500 lbs.
• Loaded Weight: At full capacity (~250,000 lbs of sand), the silo plus its contents would weigh on the order of 280,000+ lbs (~127 metric tons).

Construction Materials and Design

• Material: Heavy-duty carbon steel construction for both the silo vessel and the trailer frame.
• Finish: The exterior is coated with industrial paint for corrosion protection. A dust collector hookup is built into the top for attaching filtration equipment.
• Structural Features: Includes integrated structural ribs/stiffeners and a support frame that ties into the trailer. Dual hydraulic cylinders are mounted on the trailer to lift the silo upright, and they lock in place to support the silo when vertical.
• Components: Each unit has solar panels (typically 6 panels, 3 per side), a battery bank, hydraulic pump and fluid reservoir, integrated load cells, and multiple material gates/valves for controlled discharge.

Operational Features

• Self-Erecting Mechanism: Uses onboard hydraulics (powered by solar-charged batteries) to tilt the silo from horizontal to vertical position autonomously.
• Loading (Filling): The silo can be filled on site by pneumatic bulk trucks or conveyor systems.
• Unloading (Discharge): Gravity-feeds proppant through bottom gates onto a sand conveyor or directly into the blender hopper.
• Automation & Control: Integrated scale system continuously measures silo inventory. Functions such as silo raise/lower and gate valves are controlled via onboard electronics and may be remote-controlled.

Mobility Features

• Trailer-Mounted Unit: Built on a heavy-duty tandem-axle semi trailer for transport.
• Running Gear: Dual axles with air suspension and air brakes.
• Stabilization: Hydraulic outriggers or bracing at the trailer sides to support the silo when vertical.

Compatibility and Integration

• Fracturing Operations: Fully compatible with typical fracturing spread equipment.
• Cementing and Other Uses: Can be used as a portable cement silo or bulk storage for other dry materials.
• Loading/Unloading Equipment: Can interface with pneumatic bulk trailers, dust collectors, transfer conveyors, blenders, and pumps.
• Power and Data Systems: Self-powered by solar energy. Integrated weighing system and sensors tie into frac control systems.

Additional Technical Details

• Solar Power System: Six solar panels feed an internal battery bank.
• Hydraulic System: Uses twin heavy-duty cylinders with check valves and mechanical locks for safety.
• Environmental & Safety: Fully enclosed bins and optional dust collectors reduce silica dust exposure.
• Transport/Deployment: Quick setup and teardown cycles.

The Halliburton SandCastle PS-2500 represents a significant innovation in proppant storage and handling, reducing environmental impact, improving efficiency, and streamlining logistics for hydraulic fracturing operations. Its design has influenced subsequent developments in portable frac sand storage solutions.
